My girlfriend and I cycling from London to Dusseldorf and back to watch Kraftwerk and the start of the Tour de France. When getting to mainland Europe we’ll be arriving an returning from the Hook of Holland.

About 80% of the journey is though Holland, which we’ve both cycled around numerous times before, so on the way back we’re looking to take a route more through Germany. Are there any towns/villages/sites/museums/breweries etc worth visiting along this bit of the route?

Arriving from Calais I expect. Our initial thought was to go to Roubaix and have a ride around the velodrome and then immediately head into Belgium. We’ve probably got just over a week of noodling about before we have to be in Antwerp, then 5 days after before heading home, if that makes sense.
